The Eagles running back is having quite the phenomenal first season in Philly.
with the Philadelphia Eagles, so much in fact that former Eagles center Jason Kelce believes the running back could be named the NFL's MVP."Saquon is so good, man," Kelce said. "The speed and jumping over people, he's got such good vision. He makes so many plays and makes reads that I've never seen or played with a guy make. ... Saquon does so many things.
"There can absolutely be a case made for Saquon Barkley this year in the way he's playing and how he has elevated the offense. He has made the offense and the team so much better. I think it's a very good argument that he is the most valuable component to a team this season." “Anybody that’s taking touchdowns away from Saquon Barkley like that’s making him less valuable shouldn’t even be allowed to choose who an MVP is”It's important to note that the last running back to win the NFL MVP was Adrian Peterson in 2012. It's not extremely common for non-quarterbacks to win the honor, but Kelce could see it happening this year for Barkley to end that streak.
Through 10 games this season, Barkley has rushed for 1,137 yards and eight touchdowns on 197 carries, along with catching 23 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns. He's continued to wow fans each week, especially whenMadison Williams is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where she specializes in tennis but covers a wide range of sports from a national perspective.
